OK David, I typed in the msinfo32... PAC.EXE was not in the list under Loaded
Modules
I then typed this; cacls "C:\Documents and Settings\TEST\desktop\pac.exe"
Response:
Displays or modifies access control lists (ACLs) of files
CACLS filename [/T] [/E] [/C] [/G user:perm] [/R user [...]]
[/P user:perm [...]] [/D user [...]]
filename Displays ACLs.
/T Changes ACLs of specified files in the current dir
and all sub dirs.
/E Edit ACl instead of replacing it.
/C Continue on access denied errors.
/G user:perm Grant specified user access rights.
Perm can be: R Read
W Write
C Change (write)
F Full control
/R user Revoke specified user access rights (only valid with
/E)
/P user:perm Replace specified user access rights.
Perm can be: N None
R Read
W Write
C Change (write)
F Full control
/D deny specified user access.
wildcards can be used to specifi more than one file in a command.
You can specify more than one user in a command.
Abbreviations:
CI - Container Inherit.
OI - Object inherit
IO - Inherit only
Obvioulsy I have NO idea what all this is or means. :(((
P.S. DARREL S. I did try your suggestion also. However, I still got the..
cannot delete as file is being used by another person or program, blah blah
